At 4Refuel we are committed to helping you navigate the energy transition. We want to help our customers meet their ESG and Sustainability goals and in doing so offer alternatives to fossil-derived diesel options to accommodate decarbonization initiatives.
Clear diesel is a type of traditional fuel that doesn't have any added dyes. It's classified as a fossil diesel or mineral diesel and is most commonly used in road vehicles. Diesel fuel is easier to refine from petroleum than gasoline and contains hydrocarbons. In North America, most diesel fuel consumed is ultra-low sulfur distillate/diesel (ULSD).
Dyed energy products, such as dyed diesel fuel, are used for off-road purposes and are marked with a special dye to distinguish them from taxed, on-road fuel, helping to ensure compliance with fuel tax regulations and promoting fair and sustainable use of energy resources.
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from plant or animal-based sources, which can be used as a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to petroleum diesel in transportation and other applications.
Renewable diesel, often referred to as HDRD (hydrogenated-derived renewable diesel), HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) or HEFA (hydrotreated esters and fatty acids) is a drop-in ready renewable energy source that can be used in exchange of traditional diesel.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) are gaseous fuel products that offer a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional liquid fossil-derived fuels to reduce emissions and environmental impacts.
Hydrogen energy products, such as fuel cells and hydrogen-powered vehicles, use hydrogen as a clean and efficient fuel source, producing only water as a byproduct and offering a promising alternative to fossil fuels in transportation and other applications.
Lifecycle GHG emissions refer to the emissions that occur during each stage of the fuel’s lifecycle, including but not limited to the production, transportation and end-use of the fuel. Any emissions values referenced are based on carbon intensity (gCO2e/MJ) figures provided by 4Refuel Suppliers for each low carbon fuel type and are subject to change. The GHG emissions reductions are calculated by comparing the Carbon Intensity of the lower carbon fuels blends sold to the baseline Carbon Intensity of conventional diesel of 93 gCO2 e/MJ (as published in Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations).
